    3600 steering box

    Ugh! I checked that yesterday and was wondering why it was so far above the full line! Damn, sounds like I better quit using it and fix asap.

    3600 steering box

    It's been happening since I bought it but I focused on other issues first. There is a spring and a ball in there and the pin does move up and down. I have believed it's leaking because it's working correctly and relieving pressure, but maybe I should try replacing it once just in case?

    3600 steering box

    I have had my '78 3600 for a couple years now and am finally making progress on all of the leaks and little issues. My current one is the power steering box. It squirts fluid out of a pressure relief valve. The section of the column that contains that valve looks to have been replaced already...

    PTO issue

    My PTO does not disengage when the clutch is depressed, I know that much. I had the tractor in gear with the clutch depressed while I was drilling so that I could rock the tractor a bit to try to change the angle and bust up the hard dirt I was working in

    PTO issue

    When I bought it, the seller, who had owned it since new, just reduced the throttle to idle and moved the lever - no grinding. But there's no guarantee that he was doing it correctly. Maybe things are worn enough that it isn't right? But it runs my post auger and my brush hog just fine. I will...

    PTO issue

    Model number is CA213C. The plate is pretty faded and the camera on my phone is messed up so it's hard to see in the pic. The PTO lever is just below the seat on the left side.

    PTO issue

    No, as long as I back off the rpm's when I do it. It just slips right in and starts turning. But, that doesn't mean I'm doing it right! I just bought this tractor a year ago...

    PTO issue

    I don't believe mine is transmission controlled, It makes no difference what my transmission or clutch are doing. I have a lever on the left side to engage or disengage

    PTO issue

    Yesterday I got the posthole auger stuck and stalled my Ford 3600 (diesel) before I could shut it off. I got it freed up and everything works fine but now the PTO won't completely disengage - the auger still turns slowly when the PTO is disengaged. It stops when I set it on the ground. And it...

    3600 power steering leak

    That looks right to me - thanks! By reseal, you mean rebuild it and replace all of the seals or do you have something in mind that's an easier fix? It works well as long as I keep it filled.

    3600 power steering leak

    Hello, new guy here, I just bought my Ford 3600 yesterday! Being an old tractor, it has a few problems but overall works very well. My biggest problem is power steering fluid spurting out of a fitting in the steering box when I turn the wheel. It looks like it could be a bleed screw maybe? But...
